Wedding Season Begins

It's that time of year folks...as Spring gets underway and leads into summer, it's the season for bridal showers, bachelor/bachelorette events, engagement parties, and weddings! This is my favorite time of year for crafting and even more so, I love making pieces for my family and friends.

I am headed to both a bridal shower and engagement party this weekend for a dear college friend and sorority sister. Here is the card I made for her shower gift.

I created the card to match the gift I got her from a unique crafter on Etsy, JessicaNDesigns. You can also check out her blog. She describes her work on her Etsy shop as "Giving New Life to Vintage Silverware by Creating Custom, Hand Stamped Keepsakes for your Wedding, your Home & your Garden!" I love anyone who upcycles and especially love a personal touch to a gift. I ordered two little dessert forks, hand stamped with Mr. and Mrs. and then the couple's wedding date on the handles.

I paired the forks with a serving piece I had already picked up and tied a cute little ribbon around the set. Perfect! I can't wait to give this to my sweet friend.

I have another wedding and bachelorette party in the next month, so I'm in process of creating some fun items. Check back soon for updates!
